Beckie Bier | 3.5 / 4.75 / 7.5

Amber lagerbier brewed with all Double Eagle Munich & Vienna malts, hopped with HBC 472 (the one that tastes like caramel cremes and bourbon barrel), and fermented under pressure with everyone’s go-to lager strain. This little number had a whole lot of pumpkin puree added hot side, with a touch of yams for an additional autumnal touch. Smells like heirloom grains, citrus zest, marbled rye bread, half-baked pumpkin pie. Deep complexity of craft malts on the palate, accompanied by first cutting meadowlands grasses, well-steeped Tetley black tea, 210grain Dave’s Killer Bread Crust. 4.20% abv

 
Amor de Julieta | 4 / 5.75 / 8.5
The brainchild of our beloved Jeffrey, this tart fruit beer was brewed with malted wheat and barley from Double Eagle, a light touch of Superdelic hops, and a plethora of guava!

This beverage is abundantly aromatic and provides a tart, tropical refreshment. 4.3% abv
